A reboot already? The last series is only about 7 years old, right?

yea. the last one was a mix of the regular marvel and the ultimates version of the four. if it follows the ultimates version (which from the trailer it does) then it has a chance to be decent but im still not sure fox can do marvel movies correctly since avengers

They never should have rebooted Spider-Man.

Sure, SM3 sucked, but nowhere near as badly as either of those Marc Webb atrocities. And Raimi's first two remain some of the only worthwhile superhero movies in existence.

i had some complaints about the first one, but overall i enjoyed it...i remember really enjoying 2 (love alfred molina), but i don't think i've seen it since it came out...i'm sure it holds up fine and i should probably give it another go

while Spiderman 2 is the gold standard for spidey movies there is no way in hell that 3 is in any way, shape or form on par with or even better than the first two of the new reboots. thats just crazy talk

Pfft. Webb's movies are some of the worst shit I've ever seen. While 3 was certainly messy, overwrought, and tipped the silliness scale into insanity, at least it still had life and identity. It was still Raimi, and he was still attempting the depth the first two accomplished. I have little doubt 4 would have gotten things back on track had he been allowed to make it.

Webb's movies are sterile, obnoxious, generic, empty-headed Marvel bullshit.

The Fantastic 4 are very high on my list of superheroes I don't give a single shit about. I'll pass on this one.

Just looking over the cast and crew of this. Josh Trank and Miles Teller are a big fat "NO." But Kate Mara and Michael B. Jordan are a pleasant "yes." I'll have to check out the trailer after work to see which way it pushes me.

I don't like Kate Mara. I think it's because I really didn't like her character on House of Cards.

I didn't make it past the pilot on that show, but I like Mara. She just hasn't found the role to really let her show her stuff yet.
